Community perception differences regarding ecosystem goods and services in reservoir landscapes with and without inter-basin water transfer: Implications for the Sustainable Development Goals.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Water is a fundamental ecosystem good and service (EGS) for supporting life on Earth. In arid and semiarid regions, water scarcity is a recurring problem that limits socioeconomic activities and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Inter-basin water transfer (IBWT) schemes have been employed to alleviate the impact of water scarcity. This study explored how IBWT affects the perceptions of riverside communities regarding EGSs within a semiarid reservoir landscape, assessing the interplay between perceived EGSs, SDGs, and land use and land cover (LULC). Furthermore, this study evaluated the influence of sociodemographic factors on these perceptions. The study was conducted across eight reservoir landscapes, with four reservoirs receiving and four not receiving IBWT. Semi-structured forms and participatory mapping were used to discern and map the EGSs as perceived by the communities. These perceived EGSs were then linked to the SDGs. The communities identified 29 EGSs classes (provision, regulation and maintenance, and cultural services) in the set of reservoir landscapes studied. Provision services were the most frequently mentioned (78.53%). It was found that educational level significantly influenced community perceptions of EGSs (p = 0.003). Particularly, provisioning services associated with the LULC water were mentioned more frequently than other LULC types (p = 0.02). Forest formations were the primary providers of regulation and maintenance services compared to water bodies, land use mosaics, and floodplains (padjusted = 0.02) and received more citations for cultural services than land use mosaics and built-up areas (padjusted = 0.02). Cultural services were predominantly acknowledged by individuals residing near reservoirs that received IBWT (p = 0.006), while those near non-IBWT reservoirs more often reported regulation and maintenance services (p = 0.003). Provisioning services were strongly linked to the SDGs (p = 0.0001) and can substantially facilitate SDGs attainment, notably impacting goals 1, 2, 3, 12, and 15. The presence of IBWT significantly shapes community perceptions of reservoir landscape elements in the semiarid region.
